CF hood. NEW PICSwith underhood!!!! (56k? uh... PRIME TIME.)

YES. you heard right folks, my Seibon OE style CF hood just came to my house. Only problem is that I am in class and wont be out for 5 hours. BUT my brother is at home and opened it for me (i asked him to) and he said it looks amazing. This is just a teaser and I will post up pics tonight when i get home from class. My brother said holes for the windshield washers came predrilled but nothing for the hood pins. I ordered this hood from Hopupracing.com on friday evening! WOW what fast shipping!

everyone needs to go to hopupracing.com and see what they have for you! its an amazing site and they work hard to get you what you want!

PICS up toniiiiiight!

Mine is a Siebon too! LOVE it!
Hope it is all you wanted when you get it installed too.
I bought the hood pins for mine, but decided not to install them after struggling with the mounting locations on the tC...

Okay #1 oem style > reverse cowl. #2 I will take some more pics tonight after work. It was a quick easy install, well.. No nvm. The bolts that came with it were too small to fit in the stock mounting bracket, so I had to go to home depot and get some washers but after that eeeeasy. I had 2 people help me. The only other pain in the a$s was the windshield washer squirters, the holes do come pre drilled but are like 1/2 centimeter too small so I filed down my squirter and broke it so I was like forget that. So I sorta getto rigged it. I took some of the tubing that came with the squirters and stuck two of the pins that held the heat shield on the stock hood and stuck thoes in the holes. They fill the holes and look better. Ill probable order some new squirters from toyota and just take it to a body shop and have them do thoes and the hood pins. I'm way to scared to drill into it. Ill show pics tonight of what all I just said so maybe it'll actually make sense! But thanks for the replys!
